Please stop this. How did we collectively accept that it's ok that a private company can forever change how our sky looks like (especially at night) for the generations to come? This is so dystopian but it seems nobody cares. The most

In a webring, do you usually always have the same fixed webring neighbours? Back in the days, how did it usually work about this : If your neighbour has only 7 visitor/day but you do have 100/day, can you ask to change and have th

You can use this small Python script to display an histogram of `reasoning_output_tokens` in your past Codex sessions. I do see a spike at 516 indeed. import os, glob, re import matplotlib.pyplot as plt vals = [] for f in glob.glo

This gives a 77 MB folder, not containing the browser (we're now using the OS' webview). I wouldn't call this "Small by default". I used this main.ts file: `Deno.serve(() => new Response("<h1>Hello, de

IIRC Electron hello world is ~ 100-150 MB because it bundles a browser/Chromium runtime. So I hoped we could have a <= 20 MB solution by reusing the OS webview or similar. Having more than 400 MB is a bit deceptive for me. (Again: m

I just tried `deno desktop helloworld.ts` and the result is 442 MB. So it's not any lighter than Electron (see my toplevel comment)

Nice project, always interesting to see HTMX-inspired frameworks. If you want something even more minimalistic, I did Swap.js: 100 lines of code, handles AJAX navigation, browser history, custom listeners when parts of DOM are swapped, etc

Let's say I want to compile a helloworld.cpp with no build tools installed yet. What is the minimal winget command to get everything installed, ready for : cl main.cpp ? Ps: I mean a winget command which does not ask anything, neither

In France (and probably everywhere) there is currently massive deployment of FTTH (fiber to the home) and removal of copper lines, since a decade. Does this mean we could have kept the good old copper lines from 60 years ago and still enjoy

Out of curiosity, any other example without redirect, in which the URL stays https://<ip> in the browser?

by josephernest 8mo ago
Do I understand correctly: would someone have a concrete example of URL which is both an IP address and HTTPS, widely accessible from global internet? e.g. https://<ipv4-address>/ ?

Thanks. 1. It is part of a bigger web-browser dashboard/control interface and this camera display is just one component among many others. 2. Some of the (USB) cameras can have proprietary interfaces such as https://www.xime

Related: for some hardware project, I have a backend server (either C++ or python) receiving frames from an industrial camera, uncompressed. And I need these frames displayed in a web browser client but on the same computer (instead of ne

Why would it be limited to ~ 100 connections on a 1-4 GB RAM server? Out of curiosity if we fork() httpd and exec() the cgi handler, it doesn't take the same RAM as the parent process and it could just take a few KB or MB, is that righ

I still use Office 2007 on my computer. Super super snappy, I think Word or Excel starts and finishes loading in 0.5 second after clicking the icon. It has 99% of the features I need compared to the newest Office version.

I've done a similar tool a few years ago, with "contenteditable". It's great. Especially for non-tech people who want to quickly edit articles on a website. (that was an experiment). The problem I had: when people copy&#

Open source is not trademarked by FSF or OSI. I think it is ok to call it open source since the source is open.

But here the source is open! Why should we restrict the meaning of Opel Source, a societal mouvement since decades, to a list of criteria that FSF or OSI decided? Open source is not a trade mark by FSF or OSI. OP did not say it is free&#x2F

I think your choice is very appropriate. And it is open source. Probably not OSI-open source or FSF-open source but it is open source, period.

> CC wasn't suitable for software This is wrong. CC is perfectly fine for software in some cases, such as here. Ok, CC is not tailored specifically for software, thus the general advice "you should use something else" but

I disagree. Ok, a non-commercial Creative Common license is not "OSI-open source" or "FSF-open source", but it is technically "open source". The source is open. The open source societal movement is much broader

Congrats ! I don't have an iPhone or Mac. Can I buy an AirTag, initialize it with the help of a friend who has an iPhone, and then locate the AirTag or ring it from my PC with this Python lib?
